i think the ajc poll shows romney doing better among jewish voters than mccain. obama beat mccain in the era of hope and change. 3 1/2 years ago. 72-28 among jewish voters if you allocate undecideds, in the ajc poll it looks like 68-32, 69-31 split among jews this time. if romney can do much better among the country as he looks like he will do among jewish voters he will beat president obama which i think will be a good thing for the country. >> barney. you will have extra time. >> thank you. let me acknowledge the -- the rueful compliment that bill paid me, regretting that i wasn't dumb enough to challenge the p it is only, my refusal to run against the president that would endanger the chances of the public policy i want being accepted. i guess that is just one more case where i try not to live up to the stereotype people use regarding me. with regard to the election. there are some very important issues here. we have got to reduce the deficit. and the question is what mix of policies do you do? and there are real differences between the parties. i have one cle
